Should terminally-ill prisoners be shown clemency? Does parole work?

The family of a terminally-ill prison was stunned to learn that a parole request has been turned down. The controversy has prompted discussion over whether clemency should be shown towards prisoners with fading health. Should the parole law be updated? Why are there objections to releasing prisoners temporarily or permanently before the completion of a sentence? Presented by Herman Grech and Mark Micallef, Times Talk is aired on TVM on Tuesday at 10.05pm, with a repeat on TVM2 on Wednesday at 1.30pm. The programme will be uploaded on timesofmalta.com on Wednesday. What are your views about the matter? Email timestalk@timesofmalta.com or post in the comments section below.
